play sound work or not

[The Cat]

Can you get the to work? When I have converted my wav to ogg and put it in a file called sound. Then I created a trigger and place in the activation it will not play. I have also even change the side to east and it still will not play.

I notice it on the official conref Play sound

I'm sure that someone can help out there. Thanks.

Okay I mess up I new you see so take the P$%S if you want.

Can you get the play sound to work? When I have converted my wav to ogg and put it in a file called sound. Then I created a trigger and place in the activation calling it playsound "help.ogg" but it will not play. I have also even change the side to east and it still will not play.

you need a description.ext file with this in

class CfgSounds
     {
     sounds[] = { help};

     class help
     {
          name = "help";
          sound[] = {"help.ogg", db +10, 1.0};
          titles[] =
          {
               0, $STRM_help
          };
     };
     };



then use playsound "help"
